We are now back in Thailand for two months. After a short stopover in Bangkok to see friends Nina and Scott, we headed up North to Chiang Mai by overnight coach. Not a super-great experience this time: the drivers were horrible, playing music all night and driving the bus really jerkily so as to keep us awake. Martin then developed a migraine that lasted well into the next day. To top it all off, we arrived to find that our bags, which had been in the luggage compartment of the bus, had been packed differently to how we'd left them - which meant that someone had rummaged through them! We have heard stories of valuables going missing on long bus journeys from travelers. Thankfully, nothing was missing as we never leave anything of value for them to take!
We were meant to be rendezvous-ing with Martin's Australian friend Jules (who he met on his last travels) and her mum, Pat who were on holiday themselves. After they were stranded in Koh Samui for 4 extra days due to heavy rains, they found us by chance playing catch-up madly typing away in an internet cafe. After a first class dinner and lack of sleep from our overnight journey, we collapsed on our extremely comfortable (not!), rock-hard bed ! *Mush
